Highlights of a Trip to Cornwall

The British Isles will always have a very special kind of charm to them. In between the image of drinking a cup of tea and the image of the soccer fans, people tend to think in terms of stereotypes when it comes to everything British. And when they think of dream vacations, they rarely think of England (and if they do, they don’t necessarily think of the places that are beyond London).

And yet, there is so much natural beauty in the United Kingdom that it is impossible to ignore it. Cornwall is one of those places.
